  1. Thanks for the GREAT info! :-)

    Curious though, how do you carry your waders/boots? I pack about a 38lb backpack and got everything in the pack EXCEPT my waders! I ride a KLX400 dual-sport to my fly fishing, but there’s no room to carry/strap-on much else…

  2. Glad this was helpful. I put my waders, gravel guards, and boots in a backpack, like the one I used in high school. Then I attach the backpack to the passenger seat in front of my luggage with bungee cords.

  3. Some places don’t allow cooking over a fire and you must cook on a stove. Your list does not account for this

  4. He DID Mention a Pack Stove!!!

  5. Thx for the comments. If you think of things that are missing please let me know. I’ll happily update the list.

    There are two stoves in the list: 1) a two burner I use for car camping and 2) the pack stove for backpacking.

    When car camping, I prefer to bring my own firewood to save harvesting. By end of summer there isn’t much left. I try to reduce the season long pressure on what’s naturally available.

  6. you forgot the beer

  7. I intended ‘Booze’ to cover it. Probably worth adding as it’s own line item.

  8. DUCK TAPE, so handy

  9. ESP 2009 is great success ! RECESS has its impact in Sibu. A piece of land has been allocated for test site on peat in Sarawak. It makes sense to begin in Sibu as 70% of its land is peat.A 30m trial embankment is proposed to be constructed on a housing project in 8 mile along Ulu Oya Road. The developer has encountered many problems such as excessive settlement of drains which require re-construction.JKR Sarawak will be engaged to assist in the monitoring and verification of performance and cost data.RECESS UTHM will partially fund the structural and geotechnical study of a novel system of road construction on peat, to be known as reinforced peat (REPEAT). Several award winning and patent pending research products will be deployed.Results of study will be the basis for guideline and specification for construction on peat. With sustainable concerted effort from interested parties, Sibu could emerge as a model township for carbon neutral development with the deplment of renewable energy and sustainable development.
